I would recommend having a look at "The Art of Code" youtube channel. There is some interesting material there.

But even in Malayalam, curry/kari could also be used as an umbrella term for any accompaniments with rice, dry and wet. 'Chorum kariyum' - in this context curry is accepted as all the stuff that you eat with a regular rice meal (including the dry 'thoran'), atleast in where I'm from.


Being an app developer here; the reality can't be further than this. From our figures atleast 30% of our base use it in their vernacular. English is only a good start; if you really need to penetrate the masses - localization is a must.


Trivia: It's also the longest English word without a vowel.


What word here has no vowel ?


"rhythm" (or "rhythms" to get a bonus extra letter). "y" is a vowel sound but is not considered to be a vowel in English.

Indeed, I did not know that, thanks.


In the older syntax, something like this:

  client.startAsync(new Consumer<TorrentSessionState> {
	void accept(TorrentSessionState state) {
		if (state.getPiecesRemaining() == 0) { 
			client.stop(); 
		}
	}
  }, 1000).join();


Thank you. Really useful.


Me too. Chrome 59 on a Mac.


A lot of enthusiasts are a big part of that I guess. I've been a paying user for quite some time now and I primarily use it as a few minutes of distraction every day.


We are definitely migrating. We were forced not to use AWS so far due to regulatory issues with data needing to reside in India. Long awaited!


The commercial/business sense of the term Asia-Pacific almost always include India; so the dissonance argument isn't really valid.


Yes, I have found this to be very practical, but unfortunately they don't do this at all airports.


Really? I have seen it everywhere I have been - Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Coimbatore, Kolkatta.


Perhaps parent was referring to airports outside of India?


I've seen that used in lots of airports in Asia.


Yesterday, didn't happen for me in the new Mumbai T2 domestic terminal.


I must say while doing transit in Delhi I did not see such a system as well.


when you are transiting you are already inside the 'security zone' so perhaps they don't do another security check?

As someone who flies in and out of Delhi all the time, I can assure you that the security check involves such 'tags'. also procedures for security are standardized across all airports, so it is very unlikely that the process is skipped consistently. I encounter this in the tiniest airports in the country (Trivandrum, Leh) .

Interestingly enough, you can carry your Kindle, phone and/or Ipad in your carry on luggage, but not your laptop. Which doesn't make too much sense, but just the kind of loophole bureaucrats designing security systems come up with.


>when you are transiting you are already inside the 'security zone' so perhaps they don't do another security check?

For what it's worth, they certainly did another check last time I went HKG->DEL->KTM

I'd assume it's just a layout issue with some transits.


> Interestingly enough, you can carry your Kindle, phone and/or Ipad in your carry on luggage, but not your laptop

I have carried my ThinkPad X250 on flights to-and-from Mumbai, even used them during flight.


sorry for the confusion but I meant you can carry your kindle etc inside your carry on bag and don't have to take it out and put it into a tray etc. Your laptop for some reason has to be taken out and put into a separate tray (in Indian airports)
